A short, sharp burst of arcade fun, Sinking Feeling is well worth picking up for a quick blase.

A dark and grimy adventure with some real tension, The Detail: Episode One - Where The Dead Lie might not have any tricky puzzles, but its story will pull you through.

Omega: The First Movement combines rhythm and battling for a successful title, though there are some big translation issues.

Worth a look and close to being excellent, but Bear Winter could do with losing its continues in the snow.

A sparse, clunky golf game with a twist that fails to add anything meaningfully new to the genre

A very simple slots game riddled with ads, Area 777 is easy on the eye, and even easier on the brain. While it won't convince naysayers, genre fans might want to give it a spin.
